LM2575
52kHz Simple 1A Buck Regulator
General Description
Features
The LM2575 series of monolithic integrated circuits provide
all the active functions for a step-down (buck) switching
regulator. Fixed versions are available with a 3.3V, 5V, 12V,
fixed output. Adjustable versions have an output voltage
range from 1.23V to 37V. Both versions are capable of driving
a 1A load with excellent line and load regulation.
These regulators are simple to use because they require a
minimum number of external components and include internal
frequency compensation and a fixed-frequency oscillator.
The LM2575 series offers a high efficiency replacement for
popular three-terminal adjustable linear regulators. It
substantially reduces the size of the heat sink, and in many
cases no heat sink is required.
A standard series of inductors available from several different
manufacturers are ideal for use with the LM2575 series. This
feature greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode power
supplies.
The feedback voltage is guaranteed to ±2% tolerance for
adjustable versions, and the output voltage is guaranteed to
±3% for fixed versions, within specified input voltages and
output load conditions. The oscillator frequency is guaranteed
to ±10%. External shutdown is included, featuring less than
200µA standby current. The output switch includes cycle-bycycle current limiting and thermal shutdown for full protection
under fault conditions.
• 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and adjustable output versions
• Voltage over specified line and load conditions:
Fixed version: ±3% max. output voltage
Adjustable version: ±2% max. feedback voltage
• Guaranteed 1A output current
• Wide input voltage range:
4V to 40V
• Wide output voltage range
1.23V to 37V
• Requires only 4 external components
• 52kHz fixed frequency internal oscillator
• Low power standby mode IQ typically < 200µA
• 80% efficiency (adjustable version typically > 80%)
• Uses readily available standard inductors
• Thermal shutdown and current limit protection
• 100% electrical thermal limit burn-in

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Rating indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device
is intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical
Characteristics.
Note 2:
All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face) . All room temperature limits are
100% production tested. All limits at temperature extreme are guaranteed via testing.
Note 3:
External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect switching regulator system performance. When the
LM2575/LM1575 is used as shown in Figure 1 test circuit, system performance will be shown in system parameters section of Electrical
Characteristics.

As in any switching regulator, layout is very important. Rapidly switching currents associated with wiring inductance generate voltage transients
which can cause problems. For minimal stray inductance and ground loops, the length of the leads indicated by heavy lines should be kept as
short as possible. Single-point grounding (as indicated) or ground plane construction should be used for best results.
